Hi I was wondering, I bought some shrimp the other day and one is missing some legs. Does anyone know if they'll grow back? Thanks Laurie

It should come back next time it molts.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure, thanks for responding.

Sometimes it takes a few molts before the leg regains it's original full size. After one molt, you might see a "mini-leg". This is particularly true if a major claw is lost.
